The CDF\u2019s tenure will start from the date of official notification. If a general is promoted to Field Marshal, they will serve under Subsection 2. The federal government will determine the duties and responsibilities of the Army Chief\/CDF.<\/p>\n<p>The bill abolishes the position of Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC) effective November 27, 2025. On the Army Chief\/CDF\u2019s recommendation, the Prime Minister will appoint the Commander of National Strategic Command (CNSC) for a three-year term and set the post\u2019s rules and conditions. Reappointment for another three years is allowed on the CDF\u2019s recommendation, and such extensions cannot be challenged in court.<\/p>\n<p>Read More: COAS Asim Munir&#8217;s tenure to reset after military command reforms<\/p>\n<p>The amendments further state that retirement age, service tenure, and removal provisions under the Army Act will not apply to the CNSC, who will continue serving in the Pakistan Army at the rank of General.<\/p>\n<p>The 27th Constitutional Amendment represents a significant overhaul of Pakistan\u2019s military command structure, redefining the hierarchy and responsibilities of top military leadership.<\/p>\n<p>The reforms aim to streamline decision-making, integrate multi-domain operations across the armed forces, and enhance coordination between the Army, Navy, and Air Force. The changes follow years of debate over civil-military relations and come amid a broader push to modernise Pakistan\u2019s defence framework.<\/p>\n<p>These changes centralise operational authority in the CDF while enhancing the Prime Minister\u2019s role in appointments, reflecting a major restructuring of Pakistan\u2019s military command hierarchy under the 27th Constitutional Amendment.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Asif Ali Zardari has signed three laws related to the Pakistan Armed Forces, passed by both houses of Parliament under the 27th Constitutional Amendment.
